Come for brunch , and reserve your table for dinner . It's that good. Get the clam dip any time of day. Andrew Knowlton's BA review was spot on. No detail was missed, the space is impeccably designed.

Larissa Vidal

Two top by the bar gets you a view of the sunset , a peek at all the weirdness in the decor, coziness of a private table, and shelter from the elements. You'll want to take your time with dinner here.

Eater

The new brunch menu hits it hard with winners like the wood-oven fired Montreal-style bagel with salmon gravlax and labneh and the bloody mary with savory dill aquavit . Save room for bread pudding .

Mirek Nowak

This is one of those hidden gems that is worth the effort to get into. Beautiful views and amazing food. One of the best oyster bars in town with a cocktail list to match.

Kelley Robinson

The Avocado Toast was amazing - crisp and fresh, but still hearty. We also got the Dutch Baby to split between three people, which was a perfect sample if you’re not a big sweets-for-breakfast person.

Mediterranean-inspired food like halibut crudo and wood-baked gigante beans in a whimsical, beautiful dining room that was nominated for a 2014 James Beard for restaurant design. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Nice seafood - oyster , fish and octopus ! Nice cocktails too. Make sure you have a reservation , wait time could be very long.

Jole P

Seating in the atrium is nice and quieter with a beautiful view . The oyster selection was amazing and they had a special caviar appetizer that was delicious as well ! Great for date nights !

Stirling Scott

The service here is excellent, as is the food. I ordered the cauliflower soup and Spanish sardines, and got these donut things for desert ....called "takamattes" or something like that

Brendan Gotch

The views are incredible, but if you don't get a table with a view , the décor is awesome too.

Ariana Voyer

Relaxing spot on the water with a great view ! We enjoyed a variety of local oysters and drinks in the Adirondack chairs outside.

Almu

The artic Chad was excellent! The margarita quite strong though. Nice atmosphere and beautiful views !

Jennifer Burlington

Amazing inside and out with awesome service. Even on the nicest days, you can find a spot to sit or stand and have a drink on their beautiful patio .

Kevin Donovan

There were no tables available when we went, so my wife and I sat at the oyster bar . Turned out to be the best seats in the house. The oyster chef kept us entertained the entire time!

Valentina Vitols

Westward serves a brunch menu item called "Greek Vaso". Order it! The granola in it is heavenly crack. Plus, it's gluten-free. Win and double win!

M K

Sit at the oyster bar and order all the things. We went with four or five appetizers and smaller plates, plus a dozen oysters . Glutinous maybe, delicious yes.

Serious Eats

Take a seat at the bar and spend hours looking at all the delightfully absurd details of the boat-shaped bar while you drink.

Dean Anderson

Very relaxed atmosphere . Food is excellent. Staff was and is fantastic. Enjoy your time there.

Ms Helene

Oysters $3, shucked to order. Fish cake Benedict battered and fried $17

LL: "This spot is my FAVORITE - you can either sit inside at a table or reserve an adirondack chair looking out over Lake Union + downtown."

Matt Wien

All the things are amazing! Oysters , Beef Heart, Caviar , Pork Chop and Pot De Creme!

Great bar and outdoor fire put with views of Lake Union and downtown. All the food and oysters were delicious, get the halloumi and octopus !

Sit at the bar for an amazing view . The beets were delicious. So was the quail .

Epic patio overlooking south lake union. A must in the summer!

The brunch here is amazing. Try the Dutch baby pancake and the chicken confit . I could eat here everyday.

Kendall Thornton

Outdoor fire pits , blankets, thermos of spiked apple cider , great views , oysters

Ellen Rielly

Good food, great atmosphere and view , a little bit overpriced. Waiter offered us bread then charged us $5 for it.

Maekaila Montero

Apart from the happy hour , please try the octopus bolognese and the Nor'western drink. This girl is in love.

Kelsey✨

get the clam dip & oysters to start. also really great cocktails , food, views , staff , etc etc

Christopher Buckley

Interior design is a plus. Menu is meh. Cold, impersonal, inattentive management and service a BIG minus. Spoiled our anniversary date. Won't be back. Leave it to the tragically hip brunch crowd.

kim bruso

Drinks & Oysters in the sunshine!

Kelly

Outstanding food and service, with excellent water views and a fantastic outdoor seating area .

Radishes & goat butter are a refreshing and crunchy delight! Paired with oysters and a good drink = #foodheaven

Order the caramel pot de creme & the chocolate olive oil cake & eat them together in the same bite.

SNOCRU

Awesome new place right on the water. Friendly service . Oysters and the chicken hash BOOM!

Fred Neil

Great place to sit outside on the water and have a cocktail and meal with friends.

Jacob Gyllenstierna

Get here early to get a table with a view . Order the oysters , manila clam dip and the trout .

Oremo Ochillo

If you plan on checking out the outside patio on a nice summer day get there early or you will never get a table.

Very cute place. Good for a date night our lunch on a nice day. Outdoor seating and fire pit look fun.

Taline Ekmekjian

Great views of the lake . Modern Greek/Mediterranean cuisine. Flawless service. Get the hallumi and grilled sardines .

Andre Wyatt

There is a bar on the water you can go to while you wait - they'll let you know when your table is ready.

Eric McCarthy

Excellent outdoor dining for a warm sunny afternoon! Slightly over priced drinks, but the location can't be beat.

Erin Lynch

Do not miss the Brussels sprouts . So lemony and gorgeous. The Greek beans are also wonderful. 

Ebi

Bring a pair of sunglasses and show up earlier to make the best of your time

Fricking awesome. Get the Brussels, the grilled cheese , and something fishy. Also, the chicken is amazeballs.

Lynne Taylor
